Default Manual window very hard to open

I just got a "new" 2002 Dodge Dakota and the driver's side window is very hard to crank open. I took the door panel off and sprayed ws-40 everywhere inside and that didn't seem to do anything. Then I sprayed along the rubber guide and that seemed to help alot. But now it's difficult again. Anyone with a more permanent fix?

Get white lithium grease on a spray and spray it! If that does not work your window regulators are done!!!

Most crank windows are hard to open and close I would try to use white lithium grease its meant to stick longer than wd-40. You can also go this route lol
